A mass of material exists in its solid format its melting temperature $0\,^o  C$. The following processes then occur to the material

Process $-1$:An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.

Process $-2$:An identical additional amountof thermal energy $Q$ is added to the materlal is now a liquid at $4\,^o C$
